That seems to be it.  If I add the following line to the top-level
GNUMakefile, "make" manages to build excorporate.elc just fine (there are
other errors now, particularily with the rudel package).

packages/excorporate/excorporate.elc: packages/fsm/fsm.elc

So the problem seems to be that compilation order is relevant.  If fsm
is loaded uncompiled, it fails.

I wonder if this is consider a bug in fsm.el, or if we shall add the
above quick fix to the GNUMakefile.
